I have come so far that I have managaed to start yaboot from OF (at
least I guess so, the screen goes black and the text is green). The
procedure I used was as follows:
1. Open OF
2. I type ' setenv boot-device hd:x,\yaboot.tbxi
3. OF returns 'ok'
4. I type 'boot'
5. The black/green screen appears
or
4. I type 'boot hd:x, yaboot.tbxi'
or
4. I type 'boot hd:x, \yaboot.tbxi'
(an extra slash)
The message on this new screen is something about 'welcome to yaboot
0.5, config file read 107 bytes' so I guess that's ok. But here a
prompt 'boot> ' appears. What should I type there? If I only press
enter it returns
Loading kernel...
Device not found!
...ge not found...Try again (the first letters, before 'ge', on the
line is invisible due to screen geometry).
Thanks in advance:-)
David
